"Cet ouvrage pre´sente quelques-unes des principales figures sociales d'intellectuels, de l'Antiquite´ jusqu'a` nos jours, avant d'e´tudier la fac¸on dont les intellectuels se sont constitue´s comme groupe social et sont devenus, a` la fin du XIXe sie`cle en Europe, un objet d'interrogation politique et scientifique (chez Durkheim, Weber, Gramsci, Mannheim). Il aborde par ailleurs la question de l'analyse des productions intellectuelles (comme celles d'Apollinaire, de Bergson, de Heidegger, de Kafka, de Sartre), en se demandant en quoi la sociologie peut rendre compte de leur contenu. Et il se penche enfin sur le proble`me de l'engagement politique et civique des intellectuels"--Cover page 4.

By examining the life and thought of self-exiled Chinese intellectuals after 1949 by placing them in the context of the global Cold War, Kenneth Kai-chung Yung argues that Chinese intellectuals living in Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas Chinese communities in the 1950s could not escape from the global anti-utopian Cold War currents. Each of them responded to such currents quite differently. Yung also examines different models of nation-building advocated by the émigré intellectuals and argues in his book that these émigré intellectuals inherited directly the multifaceted Chinese liberal tradition that was well developed in the Republican era (1911-1949). Contrary to existing literature that focus mostly on the New Confucians or the liberals, this study highlights that moderate socialists cannot be ignored as an important group of Chinese émigré intellectuals in the first two decades of the Cold War era. This book will inspire readers who are concerned about the prospects for democracy in contemporary China by painting a picture of the Chinese self-exiles' experiences in the 1950s and 1960s.

"The Midwest has been characterized as an excellent seedbed for the germination of great thinkers, but a wasteland for their further growth. This collection reveals that representation to be false. More than just a springboard for the careers of future expatriates, the region has cultivated extraordinary intellectuals and allowed for the cross-pollination of a diversity of ideas. It has also been the site of shifting interpretations-to some a frontier, to others a colonized space, a breadbasket, a crossroads, a heartland-and the tensions between those interpretations are made evident in this collection. These twenty-two essays contribute to recent revivals of interest in both Midwestern history and intellectual history. Spanning the era from the early 1800s to the late 1900s and covering nearly the entire Midwestern region, the essays examine individual thinkers, writers, and leaders-from four Anishinaabeg intellectuals who resisted settler colonialism to historian Frederick Jackson Turner, and from evangelist Charles G. Finney to regional writer Mari Sandoz-as well as movements and ideas that shaped the Midwest, including rural school consolidation, women's literary societies, Progressive-era urban planning, and Midwestern radical liberalism. While disparate in subject and style, these essays taken together establish the irrefutable significance of the intellectual history of the American Midwest"--

Eugene England championed an optimistic Mormon faith open to liberalizing ideas from American culture. At the same time, he remained devoted to a conservative Mormonism that he saw as a vehicle for progress even as it narrowed the range of acceptable belief. Kristine L. Haglund views England's writing through the tensions produced by his often-opposed intellectual and spiritual commitments.
